There is a lot of turnover in teachers at schools serving high poverty areas in Delaware.
A state Department of Education reports finds that many teachers are inexperienced.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that among the finding was that high-poverty schools have turnover rates of 20 percent compared to 11 percent on average.
Another 14 percent of teachers who instruct high-needs students are at the beginning of their careers.
And only 25 percent of math and English teachers in high-poverty schools ranked at the top of the state evaluation compared to 40 percent on average.
State officials are hoping that the new data will help them address the shortcomings of high-poverty schools.
